Han Dongwen is the emperor, and his bloodline is a symbol of rule.
Although he is a puppet now, he is always the only one called emperor.
This is called status.
Although Tantai Fu acted in a domineering manner, telling Han Dongwen to go east, he would not dare to go west, but why not just destroy Han Dongwen and wear the dragon robe himself?
Because he still has enemies in Tantai!
If Tantai is already invincible, he will naturally become the king and hegemony. What's the use of Han Dongwen?
But far away, the incident of An Haijin alone shows that the National Military Department and the National Law Department are not of the same mind, and the two sides must be secretly competing.
If Tantaifu deposes or even kills himself, then his enemies will definitely fight against Tantaifu under the banner of killing the traitors.
Fighting for world hegemony, what are you fighting for?
Gold and silver?
land?
neither.
Without people, gold and silver are all dung; without people, the land is nothing but weeds and waste.
When you fight for hegemony, you fight for the "people" in the world!
Only with the common people can people work and produce, and only those who are kings can enjoy the fruits of these "people".
Tantai Fu was by no means stupid enough to put the banner of "counterinsurgency" into the hands of the enemy. Therefore, he, Han Dongwen, could now live and breathe, and live to show his prostitution in the daytime.
Given time, if Tantai weakens or even eliminates all his opponents, that will be when the Tantai family removes Han Dongwen!
And what about Tantai Fu’s enemies?
Take the National Law Department, for example. Han Dongwen is currently under the control of Tantai Fu, and the National Law Department has no righteous cause. How can they resist Tantai Fu's suppression of them with the help of the emperor?
Han Dongwen felt his hands shaking.
The answer is your own children.
If the Department of National Law can get hold of a prince, have new and worthy chess pieces, and be powerful enough, they will definitely make the prince king, overthrow Tantai Fu, and become the next puppet master.
By then, Han Dongwen would be nothing more than a casualty of Tantai Fu's downfall.
"Xiao Hongdou, have you ever seen the palace maid being taken away while you were in the Yingchun Palace?"
He suddenly turned around and asked Xiao Hongdou.
Xiao Hongdou thought for a while and nodded seriously: "It happened a few times, but it had nothing to do with our little palace maids who were learning the rules. They were all sisters who were already on duty."
Han Dongwen's eyes lit up: "Were the people who took them away from the National Military Department?"
"It was always a person named Lord Tantai who came to lead the people. Maybe... maybe he was the son of the General Secretary Tantai Fu."
Sure enough!
Han Dongwen gritted his teeth. These maids must have been taken away after sleeping with Lord Wen. In order to prevent the existence of royal family flesh and blood other than Lord Wen, Tantai and his son must have controlled all the women he slept with to avoid being The enemy took away this only "righteousness".
After thinking about this, he suddenly felt that he had no strength all of a sudden and slumped down on the chair.
He smiled bitterly and suddenly wondered, could King Wen's act of raping all the maids be considered an attempt to break the situation?
This is too forced, it can only be said to be a coincidence.
But even so, promiscuous palace maids can only break the situation of Tantai's restoration, but miss the remaining problems.
Women are untouchable.
If he gets a woman pregnant and is controlled by Tantai, that girl will definitely not end well.
And if Tantai's enemies take control and give birth to the prince, then Han Dongwen himself will definitely not end well!
Han Dongwen couldn't help but shook his head, feeling bitter.
"What were the voices of the two women talking?" he asked.
Xiao Hongdou thought for a while: "One... one is very majestic, and the other... sounds nice."
Han Dongwen touched his chin and nodded. There were only two concubines he was close to at the moment, Chi Concubine Chi Hanqing, and Concubine Yin Jiang Keyin. He didn't know who was the powerful person behind this.
The reason for focusing on the concubine is also very simple. The person said that if the palace maid was pregnant with Han Dongwen's son, she would be incomparable in terms of status, so she could only be a concubine.
"If you heard it again, would you be able to tell the difference?"
Han Dongwen blinked and asked Xiao Hongdou seriously. Xiao Hongdou pondered for a long time and whispered: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid I can't. I was afraid at the time, and I had never served the two empresses, so I really couldn't tell them apart."
She paused for a moment and whispered: "...I have failed you."
Han Dongwen waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay. There are always more solutions than difficulties."
He was about to say something else when he suddenly realized that the water boiling beside him had boiled. He smiled brightly and said, "Come on, Xiaohongdou, you have helped me a lot today, let's do it..."
He stood up to pick up the kettle. Xiao Hongdou was startled and hurried over in a few steps: "You, please go back and rest quickly. I'll do it. Your health is not good..."
Han Dongwen waved his hand: "Hey, why is it bad? Besides, I told you a long time ago that as long as there is no one around, you should not be so restrained. Yesterday I asked Zhong Lilin to send canary buds. , I’ll ask someone to bring some refreshments later, let’s have tea.”
Tea.
Tea again.
Xiao Hongdou didn't say just now that she didn't have enough money to buy the cake and tea, so she could only put the jade token in the teahouse. She just thought about whether she could ask Mi Niangniang or other palace maids she knew well to help.
But she never thought of asking Han Dongwen for money.
In her mind, it was not enough money to buy tea, but it was entirely her own business.
But at this moment, Han Dongwen mentioned this tea again.
Boiling water was poured into the teapot, and the aroma of canary buds wafted along with the rising mist.
For some reason, the fog seemed to cover her eyes.
The familiar sour nose.
No, after all, this is in front of His Highness, so you have to endure it.
There must be a way, whether it's borrowing money, to get back the jade token given by dad.
Otherwise, you will have nothing from home on you.
otherwise……
There is no home in me anymore...
The mist filled her eyes, and she couldn't hold it back after all.
Even though she bit her lip and closed her eyes, big tears still dripped from the corners of her eyes.
"Come on, little red bean, which kind do you like to eat...little red bean?"
Han Dongwen was making preparations to ask someone to bring tea. When he turned around, he saw that Xiao Hongdou was already standing there, crying into tears.
When she heard Han Dongwen calling her, she quickly raised her sleeves to cover her eyes and said with sobs: "Ah, Your Highness, you, you don't want..."
"I, my slave, am..."
"no……"
The sentence was broken and Han Dongwen opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing.
He hesitated for a moment, then gently raised his hand and patted Xiaohong's back: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
His tone was like a feather falling on his lips, and he was careful not to speak softer: "We are our own people, what can't we say?"
Xiao Hongdou sobbed for a long time, and then she restrained herself and mumbled about the tea cake and the jade plaque.
"So, so, what should I do..."
The tears stopped, and she felt a little embarrassed. Thinking of crying like that, his face turned red at the moment.
Han Dongwen was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Ah, hahaha, hahahahaha!"
He laughed so happily that Xiao Hongdou was angry and anxious, and did not dare to say loudly: "You, please stop laughing at me, I have no choice but to..."
"For things like this, it couldn't be easier!"
Han Dongwen waved his hand: "It's just a cake of tea. You are with me. Don't shed tears over such things in the future."
Xiao Hongdou pursed her lips and looked at Han Dongwen, and nodded heavily.
She seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "You, you said I would be with you..."
"Well, that's not what I meant. You misunderstood..."
Xiao Hongdou shook her head quickly: "No, no, I thought of one thing. Even if I don't know who wants to be pregnant with His Highness's flesh and blood, it is definitely not Concubine Chi!"
Follow him...
Those are the concubines that His Highness is close to. Right now, there are only two concubines that His Highness is close to!
Chi Hanqing, Jiang Keyin!
